• GIRP: Brain-Twisting Rock-Climbing

  
  — Authority:
  A little while back, I wrote about the insanely difficult running simulator called QWOP .  It turns out that the creator of QWOP, Bennett Froddy, wasnt satisfied with making just one frustrating Flash game.  As a result, the nightmare continues with Froddys next creation: GIRP . Whereas QWOP was all about ...

• Ammagamma – Session 5

  
  — Authority:
  My last climbing day in the Gramps. At 6.30am, way before sunrise, it was already 11c. My skin was very sore, the blood blisters and bruising on my right hand pinky, middle, and index all too sore to touch. On the drive to the crag I went into hardcore PMA mode. We listened to Queen’s breakthrough and under ...

  — Authority:
  Ron Kauk and the Midnight Lightening bolt on the Columbia Boulder in Yosemite. Last week the famous “lightening bolt” on Midnight Lightning in Yosemite Valley disappeared before reappearing the next day.

• Ammagamma – Session 4

  
  — Authority:
  Day 30. I’d taken a single rest day and then it was straight back to the citadel. Conditions were amazing. The car showed 4c at 7.30am. This was the coldest it had been. Fate was finally dealing me a break. Trekking back up I still wasn’t sure if I could do it. I’d done all the moves. I told myself that this ...

• Slape Crags, Carrock Fell

  
  — Authority:
  As Ian’s post shows, Monday’s weather dawned very disappointingly! The wall-to-wall sunshine promised by the weather forecasters just wasn’t to be seen. We procrastinated for a couple of hours knowing that early starts are unwise for rock climbing at this time of year, thus allowing the rock to warm up. Then as ...

• Ammagamma – Session 3

  
  — Authority:
  The move. It was day 28 of our trip. We’d headed up to the far flung crag of Cave Club to do the classic v10 Cave Club. An awesome problem on really good rock which I’d managed to despatch relatively quickly. I was keen to ride the wave of success and so we cruised down to Ammagamma. The really great ...

• Walking On Rocks

  
  — Authority:
  The first few times when I started hiking, I had this paradigm that I had to walk between the rocks--sort of like hopscotch--then I realized that I could walk on them. For a long time, I had heard about how thinking within the box constrains our thought processes and innovation.  It was interesting for me ...

• Ammagamma – Session 1

  
  — Authority:
  [Warning - The next several posts are going to be highly granular when it comes to climbing. I doubt many people have ever written so much waffle about a single bloc. You have been warned.] The first session on Ammagamma came on Day 5 of our trip. I went there knowing I was about to face the goal of my trip. In ...

• Oz – Over the Cliff (a discrete jump)

  
  — Authority:
  When the weather did turn it didn’t just cool down a little, it fell off a cliff. We went to sleep after another day in the high 30′s and the forecast was still telling me that the following day it would max out in the mid 20′s. I genuinely couldn’t believe it would happen overnight, but when we awoke the next ...

• The Recreation Project – Therapeutic Recreation At It’s Finest

  
  — Authority:
  Therapeutic Recreation …to someone outside of the recreation field it sounds synonymous with the word vacation . But it’s proven to be so much more than just a get-away from everyday life. Therapeutic recreation provides alternatives to a therapist office or medication. It uses tools such as rock climbing, ...

• Oz – Starting Again

  
  — Authority:
  Arriving in the Grampians was a dream come true. Whilst the dream of being able to pull on perfect orange sandstone was manifesting itself, some other factors were doing their best to turn the dream into a nightmare. In an ideal world I would have been training hard for this trip for a solid 6 months, arriving in peak ...

• Simple Way to Build a Stick Clip For Sport Climbing

  
  — Authority:
  Have you ever wanted to try a sport climbing route, but you didn’t want to fall because up to the first bolt just seemed a little too risky? Have you ever wanted to build your own stick clip, but either thought it would be too expensive, or you were not sure how to really go [...]

• Lost at The Playground with The Shop Girl

  
  — Authority:
  Yesterday was the first day in nearly a year that I was able to climb outside. Thankfully, the Santa Barbara Rock Gym has allowed me to maintain some semblance of sanity while I weather the storm of a sweet little baby boy asking for his ‘daddoo’ and the fragrant reminders when his ‘poo poo’ needs ...

  Oops, I nearly forgot the fact that thanks to Richard making his regular visits to all the shops he looks after for Cordee in the Lakes, he and I grabbed a couple of routes after work on Monday evening at Raven Crag Walthwaite in Langdale… It’s always good to go climbing after work, and even [...] from Oops, ...

• Staying out of the sun while enjoying the outdoors

  
  — Authority:
  Last year the owners of “ Da Brim ” reached out to me about reviewing their helmet visors and brims and I said I’d be happy to check them out. I’m WAY behind in posting this in part because as soon as my redheaded brother tried the Da Brim he wouldn’t give it back. Hard to have a better endorsement for a ...

• Can we ‘rest’ more to improve our business performance?

  
  — Authority:
  Before I start, I warn you this is more of a thinking out loud piece rather than anything else. Anyway, as i was browsing my store of articles and notes for future blog posts i came across a scanned article from my friend Paul Robertson of On-Up that he sent me a while ago. The article was written by Steve ...

  Pouch perfect. After all the excitement of the new Bouldering centre and fuelled with firm determination to improve these sloth-style climbing skills it was time to buy a new chalk pouch. Now there are loads of chalk bags to choose from… Literally loads… So why do a post on a chalk bag at all? Well like many ...
